Chapter 2: Installation This is a Mini-ITX form factor (6.7” x 6.7”, 17.0 x 17.0 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard.
2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) This motherboard provides two 260-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) SO-DIMM slots. 1. The SO-DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.
2.4 Expansion Slots There is 1 mini-PCIe slot, 2 M.2 sockets and 1 PCI Express slot on this mother- board. mini-PCIe slot: MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot; half/full size) is used for PCI Express mini cards. M.2 sockets: 1 x M.2 (M2_2) (Key E, 2230) with PCIe x1, CNVI and USB2.0 for Wireless.
